For as many different ways that people live their lives, there are at least as many ways for people to grieve the loss of a loved one. You're NOT by yourself Ebbi in missing her, mourning her or even in feeling guilt over what did or did not occur while she lived. Some people express it, others suppress it and still others are still so angry that they can't communicate at all. Her sudden death was like a gong - a discordant note that resonated and vibrated the spirits and hearts of many. Each of those people, although they may not still experience the jarring ear splitting teeth clenching clang of it, will ALWAYS hear the echo and feel her memory as a shudder. Do you remember when she would dance? She could put on the radio on a Friday night and then bounce and twirl and step and snap until the wee hours. She was always thankful to God for her blessings...

I thought that she was always gone doing something never spending time with me but now that she is gone I realize that she left for a reason not because she wanted to leave me. I wish I had heard God sooner so my life would be easier and I wouldn't have so much guilt. It hurts so bad though sometimes I feel like i'm the only one that mourns over her.
